Why enzyme cleaners work best: • Enzymes break down organic matter at molecular level • Beneficial bacteria consume the waste • Odor is eliminated, not masked • Works on old and new stains • Safe for pets when dry • Continues working for hours after application

Maximize your cleaning success: • Blot, don't rub—rubbing spreads stains • Apply cleaner liberally—it needs to reach the source • Let enzyme cleaners work—15min minimum, overnight for old stains • Cover with plastic to keep area moist • Extract after treating carpets • Prevent remarking by fully eliminating odor

At least 15-20 minutes for fresh stains. Old or deep stains may need 24-48 hours, kept moist.

The stain may have soaked into padding or subfloor. You need to treat deeper—saturation is key.

Never—bleach doesn't eliminate odor (pets can still smell it) and can damage surfaces. Use enzyme cleaners.

Most enzyme cleaners are safe once dry. Keep pets away during application and drying.

Quality enzyme cleaners are safe for most carpets. Always test in a hidden area first.
